the last administration of a bill m equity whose main purpose was the dissolution of the temple iron company and the so-called contract through which the defendent companies maintained and controlled the produc tion shipment and marketing of anthracite coal i have not had time to go over the decision carefully but it effects two things : first it affirms the judgment of the lower court m hold ing the temple iron company to be an illegal combination second the supreme court holds the 65 per cent contracts to be illegal taken singly reversing the opinion of the lower court it holds further that all taken together evidenced a pur pose unduly to restrain the free commerce m anthracite coal and to prevent competition we have sent the case back to the lower court to carry out these conclusions with respect to a number of other controversies that were set up m the bill such as the acquisition by the reading com pany of the stock of the central railroad cf new jersey etc â€” controversies m

trust altogether a way for such action was distinctly left open by the decision which was handed down by air justice lurton monopoly sought by railroad although asserting that as yet the existence of an illegal com bination among the railroads has not been established the court holds : 1 that the principal defendants the reading and other coal carrying roads did combine for the purpose of shutting out from the anthracite field a projected independent line of railroad the new york wyoming & western to accomplish this purpose the stock of the temple iron company and the simpson and watkins collieries was acquired wiih the intent not of normally and lawfully devel oping trade but of restraining interstate commerce and competition 2 that certain contracts made with produc ers covering between twenty and twenty-five per cent of the total annual supply of coal known as the 65 per cent contracts while legal taken singly were illegal taken together these contracts bound the producers to deliver the output of their mines to the railroad company for 65 per cent of the average price at tidewater the contracts were declared void because m violation of the anti-trust act and abnormal and illegal restraints upon interstate com merce 3 the court reiterates the decision on the standard oil cases that the act of congress does not forbid or restrain the power to make normal con tracts to further trade by resorting to normal meth ods whether by agreement or otherwise but it holds _. that the temple iron company case and the 65 per cent contracts were illegal and therefore come within the anti-trust statute / 4 certain minor contracts claimed to be m violation of the act are dismissed on the ground that the court has no right to consider them â– divested of technicality the decision breaks up the ironclad monopoly secured by the rail roads through the purchase of the temple iron company and simp son and watkins colleries and declares that the cutthroat con tracts made
